The film is an adaption of the Japanese author Keigo Higashino’s book “The Devotion of Suspect X”. “The film is a screen adaptation of a work which was a global bestseller. It has so many aspects to it… murder, mystery, thrill and much more, which put in the hands of our inimitable director Sujoy Ghosh is something I am eager to start work on”, said Kareena.

I’m a huge consumer of content on OTT and I’m blown away by the quality of content available that suits every kind of audience.
The OTT world is not new in our house, especially with Saif who starred in one of India’s most well-known shows, Sacred Games.” Praising the works on the platform, she continues, “The films and series (on the medium) these days are more content driven. Than they used to be, which offers creators, actors and the viewers the freedom to experiment, engage and experience an ocean of new stories.

Khan will share the screen with Jaideep Alhawat and Vijay Varma. She concludes by talking about her co-stars, “Working with them is something I am really looking forward to… they both are fine actors. I can’t wait to get back on set and begin work on the film.”
